Why is the Nomad Horsebow Called the ‘Goldilocks Bow for Horse Archery’?The NHB is a combination of the best traits of three of the best known ‘Horsebow’ style bows, all wrapped into one compact package. The compact size and speed of the Turkish bows, the user friendly grip and longer draw length of the Tatar bows, and the thinner, faster Siyahs of the Emperor bows. The NHB is a near perfect blend of the best benefits of three of the best known horseback archery traditions of history.

What is the maximum draw length of these little Nomad Horsebows?Even though they are only 45 Inches in length when strung, the NHB has an impressive 31 Inch maximum draw, a full 2 Inches longer draw than its identical sized Turkish bow brethren.

Can I get the Nomad Horsebow as a 2 piece takedown bow?While there is a NHB Takedown version in development, we have a very high bar set for bow quality and are not yet ready to make a 2 piaece avaialble for market. We do hope to have one on the shelves this year, but we are not willing to cut corners to make it available until we are 100% satisfied with the results.
